Sanitary engineering In year 1994 Asian Development Bank and Ministry of Energy, Telecommunications and Posts Malaysia have produced an economic analysis and recommendation report on Energy Efficiency in Malaysian Industries.

A thorough understanding of the industrial process flow is necessary in order to plan an energy efficient measure. Literature reviews, plant visits and software based analysis were critical aspects of the methodology used in this project. The data were analyzed using software called Save-X. The priority of available EE options were weighed according to the pay-back period (PBP) and benefit to cost ratio (BCR). As a conclusion, industries with similar facilities as the case study sample (ceramic) can apply the EE measures and analysis technique to view the potential EE. After benchmarking with international frontrunner there seems to be a huge potential of EE even after implementing all the EE measures recommended by the locally conducted energy audit report. More efforts should be taken to take a glance into frontrunners EE operations and try to implement here in Malaysia.
